View Full Version : Those older cdj models still do the trick...

I was very resistant to the digital stuff as a result of being comfortable with my weekly trips to my record shop. However, when I started doing my own re-edits several months ago, I realized it required some new equipment. They also came in handy when the local shop burned up and I had no outlet to get new music besides the internet and the [slow] process of records via mail order.

I have purchased both a cdj-700 and a cdj-500 within the past 6 months, both of which are older models of the current cdj technology. Both cost me $60 and $30, on ebay, respectively and fit well within my limited budget. When all has been said and done, both have done the trick to get me acclimated to the current cdj models that are industry standard and allowed me to practice/test my productions at home.

I definitely recommed the older models to anyone looking to make the jump but without the $2000 budget for the current models...

I am actually surprised Pioneer doesn't still make a model of that size. They definitely are a serious space saver...

Two side by side will fit into a 19 inch rack. Pioneer used to sell a kit to rack them basically behind a dj mixer. They were the standard for the table top cd players before the 1000. Quietly, they are an effective Serato or Traktor Scratch controller as well.
